What is the software documentation?
Software concerns routines and programs developed for a computer system that enable us to use tasks or otherwise interaction with computer. This software could provide the manufacturer as a system component or created as separate applications by the manufacturer or third parties. Documentation is a description of the product and how to use it. The software documentation describes software applications and how to use them. The first component that most users need is the installation guide and for various operating systems on which the software works on, a separate wizard are listed as needed. The installation guide features specifications that are needed to start the software, including a computer operating system (systems), RAM, hard disk, internet connection and any other requirements or accessories such as peripherals. This is followed by step-by-step instructions for installation, which can be from CD-ROM, DVD or download. In general, any unusual function is explainedE Install and explanation of your own installation options such as alternative locations or streamlined installations.
The Quick Start manual is often another part of the printed software documentation used. The quick start guide that rises, where he goes with the installation manual, helps the user to start with the software and its basic operations. This part can be arranged in different ways because it complies with specific software. One of the popular methods for applications focused on tasks is the introduction based on a project in which the user learns the basic functionality of the software when completing some mini-legges.
other elements that one would exclude in printed software documentation includes a complete start -up with an emphasis on new features for the latest version; List of updates from previous versions, possibly including errors; information on how to get technical support; Explaining ErrorRAV; and information for advanced or "energy" users. Games and other software applications can include cheat sheets or advice in their documentation.
Printed software documentation is not the only type. First, printed documentation can also be available online or as PDF. Further documentation may also be available in the form of tips for tools and screen help within the application itself, FAQ - lists of often asked questions along with answers, search articles, web training, videos and other formats.
Software documentation varies in quality, especially for software manuals. The good ones can be excellent, while on the ones that are not well done, users can leave many questions. There are also users who will not bother to search the documentation before they ask about the software manufacturer forums.
